Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of new energy power, and particularly relates to a method and device for predicting the power of a cluster of photovoltaic power based on ground-based cloud images. Background Art
[0002] As a clean and renewable energy source, solar energy has been increasingly widely concerned by people. With the continuous expansion of the scale of photovoltaic grid connection, photovoltaic has become the third largest power energy. However, the intensity of sunlight received on the ground is greatly affected by weather conditions, cloud movement, etc. When the penetration power of photovoltaic is high, it will cause an impact on the power grid. Therefore, in order to ensure the safe and reliable operation of the power grid and reduce the phenomenon of "light abandonment and power curtailment", it is very important to accurately predict the irradiance and photovoltaic power.
[0003] Currently, the commonly used methods for predicting the power of a photovoltaic cluster mainly include the cumulative method and the statistical upscaling method. The cumulative method obtains the power prediction of the photovoltaic cluster by directly adding up the prediction results of all photovoltaic power stations in the cluster, while the statistical upscaling method calculates the power prediction of the photovoltaic cluster through upscaling using the prediction results of the reference photovoltaic power station. These methods have deficiencies in the in-depth mining of the input data for power prediction, and do not consider the temporal relationship and spatial geographical location similarity among multiple photovoltaic power stations, resulting in the need to improve the prediction accuracy.
[0004] In addition, the data used for ultra-short-term photovoltaic forecasting of the cluster mainly include numerical weather forecasting and historical power generation. Numerical weather forecasting provides specific values of various meteorological elements, which can significantly reduce the systematic error, but has a low spatio-temporal resolution, a large spatio-temporal scale, and does not have the ability to improve the forecasting of intraday cloudy days, sudden weather changes, etc., and cannot reflect the details of weather changes at a higher temporal resolution, and the update frequency is generally once every 12 hours. It cannot meet the high-precision ultra-short-term prediction requirements of each power station. If minute-level ground-based cloud image data is used, a more accurate estimate of the forecasting error can be given. However, the observation range of the ground-based cloud image only covers the sky information over the local real-time area, so it is mostly used for single power station power prediction. Since the photovoltaic power stations in the cluster may be located in different geographical locations, there are differences in the spatial distribution of the ground-based cloud image data. How to effectively fuse it and use it for cluster power prediction is still a challenge. Summary of the Invention
[0005] Aiming at the problems in the prior art, the present invention proposes a method and device for predicting the power of a cluster of photovoltaic power based on ground-based cloud images, which realizes high-precision feature extraction and image fusion, optimizes the prediction of the power of the cluster of photovoltaic power, and overcomes the problem that the prior art cannot comprehensively, timely, and accurately perform ultra-short-term photovoltaic power prediction for the cluster.

Brief Description of the Drawings
[0045] Figure 1 It is a schematic flowchart of an embodiment of the present invention.
[0046] Figure 2 It is a schematic diagram of the spatial distribution of a certain cluster photovoltaic power station in an embodiment of the present invention. Detailed Embodiments
[0047] It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments in the present invention and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.
[0048] To make the purpose and features of the present invention patent more obvious and understandable, the present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the drawings and specific embodiments.
[0049] The cluster photovoltaic power prediction method based on ground-based cloud maps proposed by the present invention is as Figure 1 shown, and includes the following steps:
[0050] S1. Data collection: Record the location information of all photovoltaic power stations in the cluster, collect the ground-based cloud map data of each photovoltaic power station by using a sky imager, obtain the power data of each photovoltaic power station through a supervisory control and data acquisition system, and obtain numerical weather prediction (NWP) data;
[0051] S2. NWP data preprocessing: Use the maximum relevance minimum redundancy algorithm to screen out meteorological factors with relatively high correlation degrees to obtain an optimized meteorological feature data set;
[0052] S3. Ground-based cloud map data preprocessing: Perform registration and fusion operations on the ground-based cloud maps of different power stations, extract the key features of the cloud maps, and obtain a cloud map key feature data set;
[0053] S4. Train a cluster photovoltaic power prediction model based on the optimized meteorological feature data set and the cloud map key feature data set, and obtain the cluster photovoltaic predicted power according to the model.
[0054] In the step S1, the cluster photovoltaic consists of multiple photovoltaic power stations distributed in different spaces, as Figure 2 shown, where 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 respectively represent photovoltaic power stations in different spaces. Therefore, the data collection includes the following steps:
[0055] (1-1) Record the location information of each photovoltaic power station; prepare the historical observed power of each photovoltaic power station to obtain a historical power dataset;
[0056] (1-2) Prepare a numerical weather prediction (NWP) dataset of different meteorological sources for the same time period as the historical power dataset. The data in the NWP dataset includes six meteorological characteristics: irradiance, wind speed, wind direction, temperature, humidity, and air pressure.
[0057] (1-3) Process the outliers in the irradiance data of the NWP dataset that violate the true lighting law. The violations of the true lighting law include two cases: the night value is not 0 and the day value does not change for two consecutive hours. Delete the outliers that meet these two cases, and calculate the average value of the irradiance data values at the same time of the previous and next seven days, and replace the outliers with the average value.
[0058] (1-4) Obtain the ground-based cloud map data of each photovoltaic power station collected by the sky imager for the same time period as the historical dataset.
[0059] The step S2 includes the following steps:
[0060] (2-1) Perform maximum-minimum normalization on the dataset of numerical weather prediction (NWP) data of different meteorological sources to eliminate the influence of different dimensions.
[0061] ;
[0062] where is the k-th value of the j-th variable of the i-th station in the time series of the NWP dataset after maximum-minimum normalization, is the k-th value of the j-th variable of the i-th station in the time series of the original NWP dataset, and are the minimum and maximum values of the j-th variable of the i-th station in the time series of the original NWP dataset, respectively.
[0063] (2-2) Use the maximum correlation minimum redundancy algorithm to calculate the meteorological characteristics in the NWP dataset from different sources and the cluster photovoltaic power value. The cluster photovoltaic power value is the sum of the observed powers of all photovoltaic power stations in the cluster for the same time period in the power dataset. Take the cluster photovoltaic power value as the target variable, and by maximizing the correlation between the meteorological characteristics in the NWP dataset and the target variable, and minimizing the redundancy between the meteorological characteristics in the NWP dataset at the same time, improve the generalization ability of the model and reduce the risk of overfitting to obtain an optimized meteorological characteristic dataset.
[0064] The step S3 includes the following steps:
[0065] (3-1) Preprocess the ground-based cloud map data of each photovoltaic power station collected by the sky imager. Crop the unnecessary information around and only retain the smallest circumscribed rectangle containing the spherical mirror. In the acquisition and processing flow of the ground-based cloud map data, since the all-sky imager is affected by the disturbance of the transmission medium or the defects of electronic devices during image acquisition, and it is inevitable to be disturbed by various noises during the shooting, recording, and transmission processes, which usually appear as individual pulse signals on the image and as a pixel block or isolated pixel points on the graph, affecting the target display as useless information. The basic principle of the median filter is a non-linear signal processing method designed based on the sorting statistics theory, which can be effectively applied in the case of impulse noise and salt-and-pepper noise and can better retain the texture information and edge details of the image. Therefore, the median filtering method is used to solve some of the noise points in the ground-based cloud map images.
[0066] ;
[0067] Among them is the pixel value of the filtered image at position , is the pixel value of the original image at position , and are the indices of the pixels in the traversed neighborhood, represents the median function, taking the median of all .
[0068] (3-2) According to the location information of each photovoltaic power station, extract the longitude and latitude data, calculate the distances between each pair, and use the Euclidean distance to represent the distance relationship in this embodiment; after calculating the Euclidean distances between each photovoltaic power station, store the calculation results in an adjacency matrix; the construction of the adjacency matrix takes each photovoltaic power station as a node and uses the Euclidean distances between each photovoltaic power station to represent the edges between the nodes, and it is constructed based on the KNN algorithm.
[0069] (3-3) Sort the distance values of each station in the cluster to obtain the proximity relationship of each node (each photovoltaic power station), and perform image registration in order from near to far, and then fuse the registered images;
[0070] Among them, step (3-3) includes the following sub-steps:
[0071] (3-3-a) Sort the distance values (Euclidean distances) of each station in the cluster, and first select the ground-based cloud map images of the 2 stations with the closest distance;
[0072] (3-3-b) Combine the efficiency of SURF (Speeded Up Robust Features) feature extraction with the rotational invariance and robustness of the ORB (Oriented FAST and Rotated BRIEF) descriptor for image registration of the ground-based cloud images of the two nearest stations. Detect feature points and generate descriptors through SURF (Speeded Up Robust Features), and then use the ORB algorithm for fast matching. After image registration, each image in the image sequence needs to be projected and transformed to the reference image according to the transformation matrix between the images to complete panoramic stitching. Use the traditional bundle adjustment method to optimize the transformation matrix to improve the accuracy of the transformation matrix and obtain the stitched image of the two images;
[0073] (3-3-c) In the ground-based cloud images of the remaining PV stations, successively take out the nearest 1 image and stitch it with the already fused image, repeating the process of step (3-3-b) until the ground-based cloud images of all stations are completely stitched to obtain the fused ground-based cloud image;
[0074] The above image registration algorithm can also be replaced by its homologous algorithms such as the SIFT algorithm.
[0075] (3-4) Extract key features such as light intensity, cloud cover percentage, transmittance, and zenith distance from the fused ground-based cloud images of each time period to obtain the key feature dataset of the cloud images;
[0076] Among them, step (3-4) includes the following sub-steps:
[0077] (3-4-a) The fused ground-based cloud image is an RGB image. Convert the RGB image to the color space model HSV to obtain the light intensity feature. The calculation formulas for each component of the actual ground-based cloud AHSV model are as follows:
[0078] ;
[0079] ;
[0080] ;
[0081] In the formula, AR, AG, and AB are the red, green, and blue color channel values in the actual ground-based cloud ARGB model; max = max(AR, AG, AB), representing the largest of the three color channel values; min = min(AR, AG, AB), representing the smallest of the three color channel values; AH is the hue component value, characterizing the color of the image, that is, the position information of the spectral color, expressed in degrees, where 0 o 、120 o 、240 oThey respectively correspond to red, green, and blue; AS is the saturation component value, representing the numerical feature of color depth; AV is the lightness component value, that is, the color brightness level feature, and its value corresponds to the interval [0, 1], indicating that the value range is 0.0 (black) to 1.0 (white).
[0082] The calculated AH, AS, and AV are used as the illumination intensity features of the ground-based cloud image fusion image.
[0083] (3-4-b) Extract the key feature of the sky cloud cover from the ground-based cloud image fusion image;
[0084] ;
[0085] Among them, F represents the sky cloud cover; represents the number of cloud pixels, represents the number of pixels in the sky area;
[0086] (3-4-c) The transmittance will affect the solar energy received by the photovoltaic panel and can reflect the clarity of the ground-based cloud image. The actual ground-based cloud image transmittance is calculated as follows:
[0087] ;
[0088] In the formula, is the estimated value of the actual cloud image transmittance, J C is a certain color channel of J, is a square area, and its center point is x a , and A is the global sunlight component;
[0089] (3-4-d) The zenith distance reflects the relative distance between the sun and the all-sky imager. Then the zenith distances Ad of the actual cloud image and the predicted cloud image are as follows:
[0090] ;
[0091] In the formula, (x 0 , y 0 ) is the position corresponding to the all-sky imager in the ground-based cloud image, and (x A , y A ) is the position corresponding to the sun in the actual ground-based cloud image.
[0092] The step S4 includes the following steps:
[0093] (4-1) Each photovoltaic power station is used as a node of the adjacency matrix, and the distance between photovoltaic power stations represents the edge between nodes. For the preferred meteorological features in the preferred meteorological feature dataset and the fused cloud image features, a graph attention network is used to achieve node-level information aggregation and feature embedding to capture the potential spatial structure information in the data.
[0094] Among them, the input of the graph attention network is the location relationship between photovoltaic power stations and the characteristic data of each power station itself. By introducing the attention mechanism to aggregate the node information of different power stations, for the neighbor power station information around each power station in the adjacency matrix, weighted aggregation is performed using the weights learned by the model. First, a linear transformation is performed on the node features, then the attention scores between nodes are calculated using the attention mechanism and normalized. Finally, the power station information around each power station is weighted and aggregated to obtain high-dimensional features that fuse the information of surrounding power stations.
[0095] The graph attention network uses the self-attention mechanism to calculate the attention weights between each photovoltaic power station node in the adjacency matrix and its neighboring power station nodes, so that the state update of each photovoltaic power station node will consider the states of its neighboring power station nodes; the features of the nodes are aggregated by weighted summation, and the weights are determined by the attention coefficients. In this way, the model can automatically learn which neighboring power station nodes around the photovoltaic power station are more important for the state update of the current node; the multi-head attention mechanism is adopted, and each attention head independently calculates the attention scores and finally concatenates the results of all heads, enabling the model to focus on different features or patterns and thus capture more information. Through these characteristics, the graph attention network can effectively capture the potential spatial structure information in the cluster photovoltaic data and provide strong support for the graph data analysis task of cluster photovoltaic power prediction.
[0096] (4-2) The Scaleformer network model adopts a multi-scale processing method. Based on the spatial features and target cluster power in the previous step, with the goal of minimizing the loss function, it is obtained through training to generate the final cluster power prediction value. While ensuring high accuracy by adopting multi-scale, the computational overhead is reduced by sharing weights and optimizing the architecture design, which is beneficial to improving the accuracy, real-time performance, and robustness of the prediction.
[0097] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
